I was doubtful about the size they suggested, so I made them 1x2 instead of 1/2x2. Probably bit too big a cookie, as they do spread, but they are yummy. I think that they were difficult to assemble, as far as piling on the topping, which looks like it won't stay stuck on top! Sure enough, it's crumbling off of the tops of cookies already. For batch two, I added some crystalized sugar and it looks like a bit of sparkle snow or ice crystals, which I think makes them look a bit christmassier!

Cranberries, pecans, and chocolate chips...You can't go wrong. Perfect for a more upscale cookie exchange. Definitely a must have for our Ladies Church luncheon. Here are some more cookie exchange ideas http://bit.ly/giQZlo

These tasted good although a bit too sweet for my taste but my main problem was the small amount of dough this recipe made. HOW in the world did Melissa get 16 half inch thick cookies out of it? If I had made them a half " thick I might have gotten 8. Disappointing.
Next time I'll double the recipe!

These are very tastey. I had to make few adjustments. The topping needs to be at least doubled. Also, I only used half the salt, and I still get some of the salty sweet taste. I am curious to see how these taste tomorrow. I tried them fresh from the oven.

Absolutely drool dripping spectacular. Now, I should preface my critique by just letting the world know that shortbread is my favorite cookie, so that might have swayed my opinion about these just a little. But really, these cookies have a buttery, salty taste that pairs perfectly with the sweet and tart chocolate cranberry topping. The recipe is simple, and the outcome looks and tastes very elegant. Yum, yum, YUM is all I can say. I will DEFINITELY make these again, but next time I would double the topping recipe (I had a few cookies that were naked. HIGHLY recommended.

Great cookie, Melissa; the only changes I made was to skip the choc chips and throw in a few more crans and I used toasted walnuts.

For the photog and web master: The pix of this cookie shown with the recipe did not do the actual, real life cookie justice - looked like a pile of you know what in the pix.

We love your show and wish it was repeated during the week or the following Sat as so many of the shows are.

This recipe was so simple and full of flavor! I had a friend coming over for coffee, and I was able to whip these up really fast. A few changes that I made due to lack of ingredients in my pantry were that I used chopped walnuts, cranberries, white chocolate chips, and apricot preserves for the topping - delish!
